SMARTBOX
  • Aromatics, Beech wood, Biocatalysis, Biodegradable, Biomaterials, Coordinator, Demonstration (TRL 5-7), Enzyme engineering, Enzyme production, Enzymes, Exploitation, FDCA, Fermentation, Finished projects, Food, Forestry biomass, H2020 BBI-RIA, HMF, Hard wood, Lignin, Lignin biomass, Lignocellulose, Other feedstock, Oxidative catalysis, Polycarbonate building blocks, Polymers and packaging and biomaterials, Product recovery and purification, Reductive catalytic fractionation, Scale-up (TRL 4-6), Soft wood, Specialty chemicals, Vanillin, WP leader

SMARTBOX will develop an advanced computational engineering platform specifically for oxidative enzymes. Relying on this platform, SMARTBOX will develop the one-enzyme conversion of HMF into FDCA and intermediates, and the one-enzyme conversion of lignin monomers into a potential biobased building block for polycarbonates and vanillin.
